[07:04] what's the future plan for default MTA? Is it will still be Postfix? Any plans to change to Exim or etc? [07:05] i've not seen any discussion about the default MTA in ubuntu [07:06] but both postfix and exim are in main, so fully supported [07:08] There hasn't been any mention of a change on the mailing list at least. === lipsinV1 is now known as lipsin [08:46] thanks henkjan and tonyyarusso for the info :) [08:50] soren: howdy [08:51] highvoltage: Hey :) [08:52] http://capslockday.com/ [08:53] ALL IN CAPS TODAY [08:53] soren: I hope it's ok for me to ask you directly, but I assumed that pretty much any core 2 duo supports the virtualisation required to use KVM, was that a bad assumption? [08:53] Not all [08:54] ah, I just found out that my specific one isn't supported :'( [08:54] * highvoltage crawls into fetal position and cries [08:54] highvoltage: bad luck [08:55] highvoltage: its not only your mobo that has VM extensions disabled? [08:57] henkjan: a friend just let me know that the T5750 (which I happen to have) is one of the few cpu's that don't support it. I guess it's just bad luck. next time I'll check that carefully before buying new hardware. [08:58] highvoltage: ah, i found a list with core 2 duo's without VT at http://www.chiplist.com/ChipList2/chiplist_display_section.php?id=2205&page_number=&chiplist_version_major=&chiplist_version_minor=&chiplist_version_revision=&chiplist_version_extension=&chiplist_version_release_date=&chapter_number=19§ion_number=2&subsection_number=0¶graph_number=0&view_mode=tree2a&expansion=2 [08:58] highvoltage: realy bad luck for you [08:59] highvoltage: Yeah, I'm afraid there's a few that don't. I never quite understood why :/ [08:59] henkjan: also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization#Intel_Virtualization_Technology_.28Intel_VT.29 [08:59] "Core 2 Duo all except E8190, E7xxx, E4xxx, T5200-T5550, T5750" [09:00] And some older ones [09:00] highvoltage: any change to return your proc to the shop for a VT enabled one? [09:02] henkjan: that's a good idea. I'll call them today [09:03] highvoltage: if you tell them you want a T7xxx they will probably be happy to sell you a extra $$ [09:04] moin [09:04] * Koon grumbles for having missed bug 287126 [09:04] Launchpad bug 287126 in tomcat6 "/var/lib/tomcat6/temp not writable by tomcat" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287126 [09:05] Koon: *nod* [09:26] New bug: #287420 in likewise-open (main) "likewise winbindd dumps core on startup" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287420 === mdz_ is now known as mdz [10:49] Here's the thing... My company need's to assemble a new server, and i'm thinking on a VPN solution for the job, using the Ubuntu Server Edition. The idea is to remotely share folders and maybe printers (dunow if it is possible), authenticate using the server dhcp and work as if they were working on the LAN. Plus, I'm may need to remotely administrate the server, so if anyone has any... [10:49] ...sugestion on tools or suggestions that I can use for the job, I'd be thankfull (sorry for my english, I'm portuguese :)) [10:50] BTW - I've searched the web and came up with the openVPN and openSSH solutions, dunow if they will do the trick :) [10:50] hmph, box doesn't like booting from the cd [10:51] (forgot to mention that the client machines will be using windows XP professional) [10:51] (it's a ibm eseries xseries 335 from circa 2003-2004) [10:52] with no ability to produce floppies i'm leaning towards network setup; would that be feasible at all? [10:53] Helder_Geocrete: look up samba and what it can do for you. it doesn't however do VPN, that's for sure [10:54] Helder_Geocrete: by "remotely" you mean "over an untrusted network" ? [10:54] Helder_Geocrete: if this is the case, there are two different issues in your project : secure remote access and print/fail sharing [10:55] yep [10:55] that's the thing i'm after [10:55] openVPN can handle the first part in a Windows-firendly way [10:55] samba is your best bet for the second part [10:56] :) [10:56] so I don't need openSSH, right? [10:56] well you could do the VPN tunnel with openssh too [10:57] but openVPN is more windows Friendly, right? [10:57] but I would advise using openVPN as it is better integrated with Windows [10:57] yep...a must in this project... [10:57] thanks for the tips [10:58] Helder_Geocrete: np, I hope you'll succeed ;) [10:58] btw hylje, don't you need to boot from cd in order to access the network setup? [10:58] or does the PC boots itself from the network? [10:58] thanks ;) [11:17] mathiaz: about bug 287126, I prepared a debdiff on that bug, should I subscribe ubuntu-release now or just look for sponsoring first ? [11:17] Launchpad bug 287126 in tomcat6 "/var/lib/tomcat6/temp not writable by tomcat" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287126 [11:24] Koon: I've subscribed ubuntu-release and will sponsor it once we've got the ack. [11:24] Koon: it's not RC critical, so that will have to wait until RC is released. [11:48] Hello server people. I noticed in the recent server team minutes that you are looking for testing on ESX. I have access to a ESX cluster and would be more than happy to assist as we're currently evaluating Ubuntu server to run on it anyway, sounds like a nice win win to me.. [11:49] <[Solars]> can a server have multiple identd running with different idents [11:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/ServerInstall#JeOS%20Install%20on%20ESX [11:51] Omahn: ^^ [11:51] Omahn: that seems like a good plan - please have a look at the url above [11:51] Omahn: we're currently testing the isos for 8.10 RC [11:52] Omahn: let me know if you have other questions. [11:52] mathiaz: I'll check it out, thanks. [11:53] Omahn: if you could register at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ [11:53] Omahn: this is where we track the results [11:53] Omahn: for the -server cds, there is a test case for JeOS on ESX [11:53] Omahn: this is the test you could help with and report whether it succeeded or not [11:54] Omahn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures <- gives an overview of the ISO testing procedure [11:55] Copied that too, thanks. [11:57] I'm at a Linux expo tomorrow but hopefully I'll have some results on Friday. [11:58] Omahn: ok - by then 8.10 RC should be out [11:58] Omahn: so you could test that one. [11:58] No problem. [11:59] hey... is it advisable to have a minimal graphical support (Xserver, for instance) in a Ubuntu Server for remote administration? [12:01] Helder_Geocrete: remote administration is mainly done via ssh and the command line [12:01] is webadmin a good tool? [12:02] Helder_Geocrete: if you still wanna have a gui on the server, you may wanna check the servergui page [12:02] !servergui | Helder_Geocrete [12:02] Helder_Geocrete: Ubuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance. !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options. [12:02] thanks for the tip :) [12:03] New bug: #287126 in tomcat6 (main) "/var/lib/tomcat6/temp not writable by tomcat" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287126 [12:56] New bug: #287452 in tomcat6 (main) "/var/lib/tomcat6/temp directory could be cleaned up at each tomcat6 restart" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/287452 [13:27] W8TAH W8TAH THERES A FLY IN MY SOUP [13:27] *ahem* [13:27] Am I right in thinking that Ubuntu JEOS is just an option from the Ubuntu Server ISO now? [13:27] excuse me? [13:27] W8TAH: sorry, bad joke. [13:27] Omahn: correct [13:27] mathiaz: Thanks. [13:27] Omahn: the JeOS iso hasn't been merged into the -server iso [13:28] ahh -- W8TAH != waiter W8TAH = whisky eight tango alpha hotel -- my amateur radio call sign [13:28] mathiaz: I'm guessing it was just a different seed anyway? [13:28] Omahn: you can choose it by pressing F4 at boot [13:28] hehe [13:28] ah, ok. Is it a different kernel too? [13:28] Omahn: correct - a different seed is selected. [13:28] Omahn: the -virtual kernel is used and only ubuntu-minimal is installed. [13:29] Omahn: technically the -virtual kernel is just the -server kernel [13:29] Ok. [13:29] Omahn: the difference is in the modules that are shipped. [13:29] Just trying a test ESX install now.. [13:29] Omahn: the -virtual kernel doesn't have *all* of the -server kernel modules [13:30] Omahn: -virtual has around 30M of modules while -server has more than 100M of modules [13:31] That makes sense. Is it tuned to any particular hypervisor or just enough modules to cover kvm/esx? [13:32] Oh dear. Caused a panic in the VCPU. [13:32] Omahn: hm - good question. soren or zul may have a better answer for that one [13:33] Oct 22 13:31:36.999: vcpu-0| [msg.log.monpanic] *** VMware ESX Server internal monitor error *** [13:33] Oct 22 13:31:36.999: vcpu-0| vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED devices/lsilogic/lsilogic_monitor.c:1033 bugNr=45420 [13:33] That's not good. [13:33] Omahn: It's meant to cover any known hypervisor. [13:33] afaik its not optimized for one hypervisor over another [13:33] np. [13:34] Omahn: what if you use an IDE drive? [13:34] zul: IDE is not supported on ESX. [13:35] really? that sucks [13:35] Hmm. [13:35] zul: IDE? Yeah, tell me about it. [13:35] Just trying again with a BusLogic SCSI adapter instead of LSI. [13:36] The LSI one ought to work, though. Hm.. [13:37] LSI one in 8.04 works [13:38] Oh, shite. [13:38] Omahn: Could you please try with the server kernel? [13:39] soren: This is the server iso. [13:39] generic kernel by the looks of it though. [13:39] O_o [13:39] Oh, this is still in the installer, of course. [13:39] True. [13:40] ESX panic'd in the installer as soon as the modules loaded. [13:40] Yes, the installer always uses the generic kernel, but might install a different one. [13:42] Ok, installs fine with BusLogic adapter. [13:42] *installs and boots [13:43] Hasn't installed linux-virtual though. [13:43] Has anyone else tested this on ESX yet? [13:45] Guess not. I'll file a report. [13:46] Don't know. [13:48] Omahn: I think mathiaz was trying to test virtual on ESX but had some connectivity issues [13:48] Omahn: nope [13:49] Omahn: how did you check if linux-virtual was installed? [13:49] dpkg -l linux-virtual [13:50] I'm more concerned about the ESX panic. Just reporting it as a bug now. [13:50] Omahn: right - that's more important [13:50] Omahn: is ubuntu-standard installed? [13:51] mathiaz: Yes. [13:51] mathiaz: What logic are you using to determine the platform? [13:51] Omahn: hm - what do you mean? [13:51] Omahn: you have to manually select to install a minimal virtual machine at the boot? [13:52] Ok. I just wondered if some auto detection was going on. [13:52] Just trying again with LSI. [13:52] Omahn: no. soren has some plans to figure out if the machine is running as a guest. But that's not for intrepid. [13:52] Omahn: Boot CD, select your language and press F4, pick "Install a minimal virtual machine" [13:53] Omahn: ^^ that's what you have to manually do to install the -virtual flavor. [13:53] np. [13:55] Omahn: It was meant to happen, but I never got around to it. I've got detection code for several different hypervisors already. It just needs to get implemented in the installer. [13:55] F4 gives 'Install a minimal system', is that the same as install a minimal VM? [13:55] Yes. [13:55] Cool. Trying amd64 this time. [13:55] Omahn: no [13:56] Omahn: you should get an 'Install minimal vm guest' [13:56] Omahn: there should be three options when you press F4. [13:56] mathiaz: Afraid not. I get 'Install a minimal system', and only two options. [13:56] Omahn: which iso are you using? [13:56] Omahn: which version? [13:57] both x86 and amd64, server-beta. md5s to follow: [13:57] Omahn: hm - I don't think the beta have the third option. [13:57] Omahn: could you try the latest iso? [13:57] Omahn: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/20081022/ [13:58] Yeah, no problem, downloading now.. [13:58] Omahn: the LSI bug may also be fixed [13:58] Coool. [14:01] And now we have three options :-) [14:02] nijaba > "iscsi support for interpid [14:02] kirkland looked into fixing existing bugs but it was decided that it was too late in the cycle to try fixing them. Work on iscsi has been deferred to the next cycle." [14:02] you got me worried - I thought iscsi was perfectly supported in hardy? [14:03] It's looking good... [14:03] yann2: the state of iscsi in intrepid is the *same* as the one in hardy [14:03] yann2: there are a couple of issues with iscsi that were alredy present in hardy [14:03] yeah that's what I understood - does it mean it is perfectly usable for mission critical usage? [14:04] yann2: these haven't been fixed in intrepid [14:04] I'll have a look at launchpad... [14:06] mathiaz > is there any "serious" bug that should be considered in iscsi deployment? [14:08] yann2: hm - I'm trying to find the bug kirkland had been working on [14:08] That daily server iso works *perfectly* [14:08] yann2: but I don't find it anymore. There are issues with the init script order IIRC [14:08] yann2: that's what kirkland was working on. [14:08] ok [14:08] yann2: you'll get more detail once he is online [14:09] thanks :) [14:17] Omahn: great! [14:17] Omahn: both amd64 and i386? [14:20] yann2: iscsi issues we wanted to but did not fix are: booting from iscsi and iscsi boot order when publishing NFS from it. [14:20] mathiaz: Just tested amd64 and that works too. Cool. [14:20] I've updated the iso tracker with successes. [14:21] Omahn: are you pre500 on the iso tracker? [14:21] mathiaz: Correct. [14:22] Omahn: are you subscribed to the ESX test cases? [14:22] Just trying to work out how to :-) [14:22] aha, I see. [14:23] Done. [14:24] Omahn: awsome! [14:24] Omahn: thanks a lot for your involvement here :) [14:24] Omahn: you'll get notified whenever there is a new build ready for testing [14:24] Phew! I was getting worried with ESX panic'd with that beta ISO. [14:25] nijaba: No problem. I've got access to a couple of large ESX clusters so I'll lend a hand whenever I can. Plus I'm hoping to move a lot of our systems to Solaris. It's a win win. :-) [14:26] Omahn: great to hear. Let us know if you think there is something we should improve in this area [14:27] nijaba: Will do.

[16:01] mathiaz: sure, or multiple ones. :D [16:02] mathiaz: something I think would be neat would be an overview of new server features [16:03] jcastro: hm - that could be interesting indeed.

[21:01] leonel: http://www.kitterman.org/ScottK/2008/10/clamav_plans_in_ubuntu.html [21:02] sommer: You can't mean that Ubuntu needs 88M on /boot for a upgrade!? [21:02] I think this is a bug! [21:05] I have 12M on my /boot now (before my try to upgrade and 79M free) [21:07] Let me see, if it's not a bug, then 8.10 needs more then 7 times the space then 8.04... [21:14] ScottK: great ! [21:17] ClaesBas: it may be a bug, you'll probably get a better answer #ubuntu-installer [21:21] sommer: Thanks, I try that channel... [21:21] Why does "do-release-upgrade -d" want 88.1M free space on /boot ? [21:22] I only have 12M on my /boot now (8.04)! [21:22] Sorry.... [21:22] I have to go there also..... === hibana_ is now known as hibana === hibana__ is now known as hibana === agep is now known as logging7834 === logging7834 is now known as logging8472 === hjst1 is now known as hjst === hibana_ is now known as hibana [22:11] New bug: #287781 in nut (universe) "Nut UPS user does not have access to the serial ports."
